My brain skimmed over the “per day” part and assumed it meant 21.5 hours a week, and I thought that wasn’t so bad. 21.5 hours a day is literally going to kill people though. Like the human body actually cannot survive such a thing long term.
It’s not long term. If you read the linked article, it’s still 52 hours a week. This change just defines how those 52 hours can be distributed. So if a company really really wanted its workers to work the max hours a day for some reason it’d be 2.5 days of straight work and 4.5 days off. Which would still be miserable but significantly less absurd.
